Introduction
Light Factory Publications is an itinerant production house that swings into action whenever the need for some swell, small edition multiples emerges. In its selection criteria it privileges projects that make obvious their reliance on collaborations or distribution between individuals over coffee or drinks. LFP relies on the handwork of anyone who needs a lesson or practice in book arts like binding and small publications.
With the help of those who exchange their hand work for binding lessons, Lois Klassen is LFP's editor, designer, publisher and distributor. From 1991-2001 Klassen participated in the Eternal Network (mail art) where she developed a keen interest in easily disseminated publications and collaborations across great geographical and cultural distances. In 1998 she hosted The Renegade Library: Collaborative Mail Art in Book Form at the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba (Brandon, MB Canada). Renegade Library archived in a open public display some 570 book-like items that had been created by at least 730 individuals from 37 countries.
Enjoy the gallery and contact LFP if you would like us to send out some of the inventory.
